Recently watched a documentary called Elizabeth Taylor: A Fierce Love

It really goes into detail about the differences in her marriages/relationships, her charity work to support AIDS victims, her strict upbringing and her lifelong friendships (plus her various addictions to drugs/alcohol that definitely worsened when she lost the love of her life, Mike Todd).

They focus a lot on her closeness to Montgomery Clift, whose life she once helped to save when she found him in the wreckage of a car crash.

I will say though that Todd Fisher's contribution doesn't really add much other than to reiterate his bitterness towards Liz's affair with his father Eddie.

Richard Burton comes off as a toxic partner for her - fat-shaming her in their later years, refusing to turn up to the Oscars just because he thinks he won't win (and enticing her not to go, even though she actually wins that year).

Anyway, it's definitely an insightful watch. I'd recommend it.

Billy Porter from the CINDERELLA remake + TV's 'POSE' (who recently shared his own HIV diagnosis) was an honoree at The Elizabeth Taylor Ball to End AIDS event

These two looked stunning together on their wedding day.

Too bad Nicky Hilton gave into his addictions and stopped treating her with the love/respect she deserved after they got married.
